Howabusa Posted April 2, 2019 Report Share Posted April 2, 2019 Retirement is awesome. I can ride whenever the weather is good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrot Posted April 2, 2019 Report Share Posted April 2, 2019 That is why I commute. Layer up head off and take the long way home when no one is looking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got a chance to enjoy a nice curvy asphalt Z1K ride with the wife & Spyder out to "Boondocks BBQ" in McConnelsville and back home in Hocking Hills. Weather was great and the spring vews into the wood line with the lite green color starting to bud out was just right. Still have to watch for the winter gravel in corners but the best part was that "Max Power" and his wife "Mid Range" were test riding my Suzuki DL1000 V-Strom the entire day and seemed to enjoy a well sorted bike on a mixture of roads. 100 mile lunch ride. 78, 555, 669, 216, 595, all in great shape Edited April 13, 2019 by B-Mac 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaDoc Posted April 14, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2019 Next weekend likely will be snowstorm ... and you guessed right I am off and planning to ride 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaDoc Posted April 15, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2019 Just like 2018 / 2019 is starting to be a practical joke from weather gods. Weekdays when you work it’s 70s weekend it starts to have hail storm and rain. 💩 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
durk Posted April 15, 2019 Report Share Posted April 15, 2019 We have had 2 weekends in a row that would have been great for riding. It’s just you were busy. I have the same problem. I was stuck inside a gym the past 2 weekends. I’m guessing you were working. I’m hoping Monday holds up. I have the day off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NinjaDoc Posted April 19, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2019 @durk looks like Monday might clear out to be an outstanding day. I am guessing you be out riding? If I start early 5 or so I can finish by noon and tread back and meet you on your way back. Just let me know your return route. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Mac Posted April 19, 2019 Report Share Posted April 19, 2019 I am heading down on the V-Strom to the Hatfield/McCoy next weekend for the "Stolen Pig Rally" http://www.therealmccoytrails.com/stolen-pig-rally-april-2019.html Sometimes that place gets soooo wet and muddy. I hope it's dry this time then I can bitch about the dust and bugs. "Big Bike Boogie Time" Crane Technique by 1 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaDoc Posted April 20, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2019 (edited) Luckily was able to get a last minute spontaneous ride in with just a bit of sprinkle. Thank you @Skinny guy for coming out. It was amazing chasing the bimmer around. Edited April 21, 2019 by NinjaDoc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Mac Posted April 22, 2019 Report Share Posted April 22, 2019 Weather is a big factor. Also lodging may be a factor for you. Two of us from "AIO" have advance reservation in the town of Williamson, WV. this is about 15 min from the Pig event. There are two Moto events taking place in that area "Dirt Day's" in Williamson and "Stolen Pig" in Matwan / McCarr. These are annual events that draw LARGE groups of off road types. Have you ridden Hatfield-McCoy area? Our Saturday Route and this off-asphalt area in general can be quite challenging for large ADV bikes at times so bring aggressive tires and your big boy pants if you decide to come down. We are tentatively scheduled to meet Saturday morning at the Haunted McCoy Manor in the event town of McCarr. We are scheduled to ride some parts of Main 4 KAT with the Hard 9 section if it's dry. Think about it. It's always nice to have additional riders. B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starting at 555/37 A&B Carry out Gas Station down to 555/SR7 Little Hocking and then ride back home thru Amesville, Glouster and New Straitsville. I will most likely have video. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2talltim Posted April 29, 2019 Report Share Posted April 29, 2019 I think im ready to take my moto touring to the next level. For me anyway. I feel I've become the master of the preplanning, over preparing and massive amounts of thought and plotting type of trips. The last few year have been epic in what me, @Danimal, @JustinNck1, @Connie14 and a few other have seen and experienced on the advebture I've planned out. Think I want to start doing more impromptu type trips. The type of trip Dan has been doing where he just points his bike in a direction and goes. Or at least trips where you plan on getting somewhere on the first day then that evening figure out where you want to go on the next day. I'll have to dabble with it this year on some weekend wandering. Then maybe next year take another 2 week trip and head back out west with no real plan in mind other than I'd like to see the Pacific while sitting on my bike. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
